For purposes of uniformity, all provisions of law governing the regulation and allowance of office, travel, and subsistence expenses of all officers and employees of the
courts
, except those provisions relating to Supreme Court officers and employees, are incorporated in subsection (a)(6)(7) of this section. Likewise the provisions respecting the compensation of court officers and employees, except those of the Supreme Court, are incorporated in subsection (a)(5). In each instance the power to fix and determine such salaries and expenses is transferred to the Director of the
Administrative Office of the United States Courts
. This change is in conformity with the Administrative Office Act 1939 included in this chapter.
Compensation of bailiffs however is provided by sections
713
and
755
of this title and that of court reporters by
section 753 of this title
Salaries and travel expenses of Court of Claims Commissioners are covered by
section 792 of this title
The language “and the lawful fees of United States Commissioners” in subsection (a)(6) and “the offices of the United States Commissioners” in subsection (a)(9) is new. It conforms with sections
633
636
and
639
of this title.
Subsection (a)(5)(7) covers the provisions of section
726–1
and
726a
of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., which provided that probation officers’ salaries should not be less than $1,800 nor more than $3,600 per annum and their traveling expenses should not exceed more than 4 cents per mile.
Words “and officers and employees of the Administrative Office” were added in subsection (a)(7) to expressly authorize travel and subsistence expenses of such officers and employees.
The power to fix such pay and allowances is transferred to the Director as above indicated, and conforms with the Administrative Office Act of 1939. For further explanation of the general supervision of probation officers, see reviser’s note under section 3654, H. Rept. to accompany H.R. 3190 for revision of title 18, U.S.C.
Subsection (a)(8) covers the provisions of
section 1131 of title 26
, U.S.C. 1940 ed. Such section 1131 authorized the Tax Court, successor to the Board of Tax Appeals, to make expenditures for personal services, rent, law books, reference books, periodicals, and provided that all expenditures should be paid out of appropriations for the Tax Court, on itemized vouchers approved by the court.
Two references to “officials and employees covered by this chapter” were changed to “clerical and administrative personnel,” following the language of paragraph (a)(1), conferring general power to supervise such personnel as respects administrative matters.
Similar language was used in paragraph (b) instead of “The clerks of the district
courts
, their deputies and assistants, and all other employees of said
courts
.”
The provisions of
section 374b of title 28
, U.S.C., 1940 ed., based on successive acts relating to classification and compensation of secretaries and law clerks were omitted as temporary and unnecessary in revision, in view of subsection (a)(5) of this section under which the salaries of all personnel are necessarily limited by current appropriation acts.
For increases in basic rates of compensation for other judicial officers and employees see, also, section 521 of Act June 30, 1945, ch. 212.
The designation “senior circuit judges” was changed to “chief judges of the circuits” in conformity with
section 45 of this title
Provisions of section 11–204 of
District of Columbia Code
, 1940 ed., relating to appointment of clerk of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, and deputy clerk, crier, and messenger thereof, and the provisions relating to accounting for fees, are incorporated in sections
711
and
713
of this title. Provisions of said section, requiring the clerk of such court to give bond, were omitted as covered by
section 952 of this title
. Provisions of said section, relating to regulation of clerk’s fees by such court were omitted so as to render uniform the method of such regulation as prescribed by
section 1913 of this title
, and the provisions of said section, placing a maximum of five hundred dollars per year on the office expenditures of the clerk of such court, were omitted as inconsistent with this consolidated section.
For distribution of other provisions of sections on which this section is based, see Distribution Table.
Changes were made in phraseology and arrangement.
Senate

1130(a)(b)

Internal Revenue Code
[1940 ed.], did not constitute part of the source of this section. However, no change in the text of the section was necessary. See 80th
